This book is a study of political philosophy arguing that language gives origin to the state. By extending the distance of communication, humans form large communities, leading to the state’s formation. Language is also the key to realizing freedom, equality, peace, and justice.

This book argues that language shapes human society. By enabling media for mass communication, language allows us to form large societies, nations, and states. These states are then governed through linguistic mechanisms like constitutions, elections, and representation.
